The front bar would be the same as any 6 cyl e36, so it should fit.

I missed this thread last year... I spoke with John this morning and ordered an Aluminum front brace for my 97. Who all ended ordering a front brace and how do you like it?  __________________

Rich;
I ended up buying both of the bars (actually ones pictured, no less!).
To answer anyone's question regarding fitment, the bar for the 4 cyl. will fit either 4 or 6 cyl swapped ti's. The bar for the 6 cyl e36's will not fit a 4 cyl ti or other 4 cyl e36.
As for overall happiness, rate it very high! I also added an OEM x-brace, and the combination of the 3 elements make the car feel so much more rigid, it's amazing.
Now if I can just get the D2 coilovers installed before my first track day in 3 weeks... __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

Ah, thanks James for the clarification! I put in an x-brace a few months ago and have been procrastinating in dropping in a suspension Jerry was kind enough to send north. The weather is warming up so I have to get unlazy... The bar should arrive just after the Super Bowl, so there won't be any distractions... __________________
